Ballacallum Redgate, as previously mentioned, occupies a particularly peaceful and tranquil position on the outskirts of this quaint hamlet of The Lhen

which itself is only some 5 minutes drive from Andreas Village with its amenities. In addition Ramsey town centre is only some 15/20 minutes drive away.

The property is surrounded by its acres of farmland for which at the coastal end is private access down to the beach and coastline.

Properties of this nature are rarely offered for sale and therefore an inspection must be regarded as essential in order to appreciate the private and tranquil

position, the breathtaking countryside and sea views, wonderful sunset views and also the spacious accommodation with the potential for conversion of

outbuildings to provide holiday cottage accommodation and equestrian facilities if required.

The price is to include fitted floor coverings.

Ballacallum Redgate has immediate mature and established gardens of around 1 acre for which at the front, there are 2 lawned areas with flower and shrub

beds and a circular front terrace area. Water tap. Large lawned rear garden containing mature trees and established hedging along with beach stone and

paved patios the garden itself is in a sun trap and sheltered position. There is also an established vegetable garden awaiting cultivation.

DIRECTIONS TO PROPERTY:

From the traffic lights in Parliament Square proceed northwards out of Ramsey across the 2 mini roundabouts and the Stone Bridge onto Bowring Road.

Follow this road out of town onto the Andrea Road where, on reaching Andreas Village continue past the Church and take the next turning on the left into

the village centre. Proceed past the village shop and at the next left hand bend turn right at its crown onto the Kiondroughad Road. Follow this road into the

picturesque countryside to its junction at the far end. Turn right and proceed towards The Lhen where the entrance to Ballacallum Redgate will be seen

after approximately 150 yards on the left hand side. The splayed entrance and concrete apron make it easily accessible and it leads on to a long single track

private lane meandering down to the house itself where there is a large shingled area providing right hand access to the barn/garaging and access via twin

brick and stone pillars onto an extensive shingled forecourt area.
